Off Season (23-25 Jan)

23rd January - 25th January 2026

Celebrate Margate’s artistic community with a weekend full of exhibitions and events!

Now with 150 exhibitions, and over 300 artists taking part...

These off-season Winter months can be harder for local businesses, so the team are working collaboratively to organise a free, 3-day Art Trail to shine a spotlight on Margate's artistic spirit.

Artists and creative minds are invited to showcase their work in unconventional spaces—think shop windows, cafes, bars, studios and domestic spaces!

This DIY festival will thrive on Margate's community creativity, everyone is welcome to become part of the Off Season Art Trail.

Off Season are eager to hear your ideas for events and exhibitions that will make this festival truly special.

Let’s come together to celebrate the beauty of Margate in the off season!

Here's a look at just some of the exhibitions taking place... for updates, check the festival Instagram Page
